But the point is, the Quran specifically highlights things and says that are not true that you must believe if you're a Christian. So it says in Surah 4, 156 or 157 that Jesus didn't die on the cross. Well, then he wouldn't have been resurrected. And history. Yeah, well, yeah. Secondly, it says no one can bear the sins of another. It also says God does not have a son.

And I said, here's what I have from first century sources about the crucifixion of Jesus, the resurrection of Jesus, and I went through some of that, and I said, now, what have you got on your side? Honestly, you've got a guy 600 years later in a cave that said it isn't true. Which is the most credibility? And his response was, I choose to believe the Quran. Okay, that's his choice.
